A new student transfers into the top science class for second-year students at No. 1 High School, and is named the school's heartthrob on his very first day.
As his new deskmate, Shi Yanqian can tell that Yi Zhen is a quiet, reserved, well-behaved student who keeps people at a distance.
She's always worried that her outgoing personality might scare him off.
After spending a few days acting like a delicate little girl, she comes across several big, burly boys from the sports school next door surrounding Yi Zhen.
Seeing that things look bad, she grabs her schoolbag, smacks it into the group of boys, and pulls Yi Zhen away.
Only after they reach a small alley and catch their breath does she let go of his hand, blushing.
Later, Shi Yanqian discovers that if she teases Yi Zhen just a little, he blushes.
Right to the tips of his ears.
Down to his neck.
One day during lunch break, they're the only two people left in the classroom.
Shi Yanqian takes out a box of strawberries and shows them off to Yi Zhen. "These strawberries are so sweet." She takes one and bites into it, then adds, "Sweeter than me!"
Yi Zhen turns around. The strawberry in Shi Yanqian's hand is barely half a foot away. He stares at it for a second, then snatches the tempting fruit.
After tasting it, he says,
"Not as sweet as you."
Shi Yanqian's fair cheeks turn strawberry-red in an instant.
